Open House Sunday 330-500PM - Enticing New Pricing - Stop by for Tour First time on the market in over a decade, 12 5th St NE is nestled just off coveted East Capitol Street, steps from Eastern Market and the US Capitol on one of Capitol Hill’s most treasured blocks, this circa-1863 residence brings together remarkable character, expansive modern living, exceptional indoor-outdoor connection at a location that puts you in the heart of the Hill. Gracious living and dining spaces retain the warmth and character of the original home made for entertaining, with preserved details including the staircase newel post and railings, handsome dining room window casings and beautifully refinished oak floors with smart contemporary modifications to open and connect its spaces with an oversized gourmet kitchen designed as much for gathering as cooking, with a long stone island, abundant cabinetry, two generous work areas and sinks, and plenty of room to spread out. Beyond the kitchen, the house opens dramatically into an expansive rear family room centered on a gas fireplace and flanked by tall black-framed divided-light glass doors. Open them and the living space continues directly outside to a custom brick patio and fully fenced backyard with irrigation and outdoor lighting, creating an unusually seamless connection between house and garden. With rear alley access, the property also offers the potential for off-street parking. Upstairs, beautiful original heart pine floors are a wonderful reminder of the home’s 19th-century beginnings. Two exceptionally spacious bedrooms are joined by a large skylit den, ideal as a home office, library, studio, guest space or additional living area with built-in Murphy Bed system. The primary suite includes a renovated en-suite bath with double vanity and a wall of closets, while the renovated hall bath also features a double vanity. Side-by-side laundry, a large linen closet and additional hallway storage make the upper level as practical as it is distinctive. A third full bath on the main level adds still more flexibility. Below, the connected lower level has its own front entrance and reveals another layer of the home’s history, with exposed brick, original structural elements, windows and extensive storage, workshop and utility space - and room to expand. Thoughtfully updated over time rather than stripped of its identity and charm, 12 5th Street NE feels unmistakably like Capitol Hill: historic without being pretentious, polished without feeling newly manufactured, and wonderfully livable. Replacement double pane windows, central air conditioning, and updated systems update the character that has endured for more than 160 years. Just off East Capitol Street and two blocks from Stanton Park, this home is exceptionally positioned for easy access to Eastern Market, Union Station, H Street, Union Market, Metro, the U.S. Capitol, Library of Congress and the neighborhood restaurants, shops, parks and everyday conveniences that make Capitol Hill one of Washington’s most enduringly desirable neighborhoods. A remarkable historic home, beautifully evolved, at a setting that is quintessentially Capitol Hill. Reach out to your agent or me for a private tour anytime.
